17/8/21 Sligo

 The week got off to the perfect start with my pick Malayan winning,the 6/5 favourite was 2nd at halfway making headway to lead from 2 out. She was 2 lengths clear in the final furlong and despite having her advantage reduced close to home she held on to beat Believe In Science by 1/2 a length. 

 There is a 7 race card at Sligo on Tuesday where the feature contest is the 7.15 when 17 line-up for the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle. Pump Road is having a good recent spell and he should have won on this course when last seen 12 days ago but he gave himself too much to do in the closing stages eventually finishing 2nd,he goes back up in trip and should continue to go well. Icee MBa picked up her career best win at Ballinrobe just 8 days ago coming home by 1/2 a length, she shouldn't be taken lightly as she bids for her hat-trick win. Finding Joy last tasted victory at Downpatrick in late 2019 but was a very creditable 3rd on the same course 9 days ago,she looks competitive on form and definitely can't be ruled out. The other on my shortlist is Ocean Glandore he was a very good 3rd when Icee MBa won at Ballinrobe last time so he definitely deserves consideration. 

Big race prediction: 4: Pump Road.
